ORIENTATION AND SPACE PLANNING
Visit Steelcase.com Planning Ideas for Walkstation planning ideas.
Placement and orientation of the Walkstation are critical to ensuring that users feel the right balance of privacy and accessibility as well as safety.
-
Do not place in heavy traffic aisles.
-
Recommend if placed on a carpeted area, consider non-plush materials.
If there are plush, heavy-shedding materials, consider placing an underlayment underneath the treadmill, to reduce dust and fibers from accumulating inside the motor compartment. -
Consider adding screens around the Walkstation to create visual boundaries and privacy for the user.
Maintain minimum recommended clearances shown below, based on ASTM F1749-15 (2020) – Standard Specification for Fitness Equipment and Fitness Facility Safety Signage and Labels.
ERGONOMIC TIPS

USER INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING THE WALK STATION
WARNING: Review all precautions prior to using the Walkstation.
When ENTERING the workstation area, and before operating the walking platform:
- Ensure that the walking platform switch is in the ON position but the belt is not moving.
- Straddle the walking platform belt by standing on stationary side straddle covers, and adjust the worksurface to the desired height.
- Never adjust the worksurface height while the walking platform is moving.
- Attach the magnetic safety clip to your clothing near the center of your body, just below worksurface level; attach another end to the magnetic receiver on the console keypad.
- For your personal safety, the magnetic safety clip must remain attached to your clothing while the walking platform is in operation.
- Use and adjust settings to your proper weight. Press ENTER.
- Press START. The treadmill will beep three times and then start at 0.3 mph. To adjust speed, use the FAST and SLOW buttons.
EXITING THE WORKSTATION AREA
- Do not allow the walking platform belt to remain running while the workstation is unoccupied.
- Stop the walking platform by pushing the STOP button on the console keypad.
- Wait for the belt to stop moving.
- Remove the magnetic safety clip from your clothing and exit the workstation.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT CONTROLLERS
For sit-to-walk models only, 70″W or 76″W.
Note: Active Touch controller is not compatible with the Ology
Walkstation.
https://steelcaseproductinfo.qrd.by/ology-walkstation
The Simple Touch Controller or the 4 Preset
A programmable Controller can be used. Refer to Ology
User Guide for operating instructions.
ODOMETER
The Walkstation keeps track of your total distance walked and estimated calories burned. It does so in three ways:
-
Normal Accumulation in the Display: While you are walking, the display shows distance and calories. If you pull the magnetic safety clip or press and hold the STOP button to reset the Walkstation, the distance and calories will reset.
-
Session Odometer Function: You may be on and off the Walkstation many times each day but still want to keep track of your distance and calories for that day (or that week). The session odometer function will work for this purpose, by displaying accumulated distance and calories.
– To view the session odometer: While the Walkstation is running, press the ENTER button.
– To clear the session odometer: While the Walkstation is running, press and hold the ENTER button. -
Overall Odometer: The Walkstation also has an overall odometer function, which can be used for longer periods of time such as several months.
– To view the overall odometer: While the Walkstation is prompting for weight, such as at the beginning of a session, press the STOP and buttons simultaneously
– To clear the overall odometer: While the Walkstation is prompting for weight, press the STOP and buttons simultaneously.
CREATE A DEDICATED USER PROFILE
The treadmill ships ready for public use, allowing the weight to return to the default after each user. To save weight for a private user, follow these steps to enter ENGINEERING MODE: (It may be easier if you have two people):
-
Turn off the treadmill.
-
Press and hold STOP, SPEED, and SPEED.
-
While still holding the buttons, have someone else turn the treadmill back on.
It may take a couple of seconds, but the display will read “ENGINEERING MODE.” -
Press ENTER twice or until the display reads “WEIGHT 150.”
-
Press SPEED to toggle the display to read “WEIGHT SAVED.”
-
Press START to save the change. The display will read “SAVED.”
-
Press STOP to exit the ENGINEERING MODE.
After completion of these steps, the treadmill will be back in normal
operation mode.
The next time the user enters a weight, it will be saved for each use.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING YOUR TREADMILL
Your treadmill is constructed of quality materials and manufactured to provide
many years of faithful service. Simple routine cleaning and a preventative
maintenance program will extend the life of your treadmill.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning or servicing.
TREADBELT ADJUSTMENT
Your treadmill’s running belt has been properly aligned at the factory.
However, when the treadmill is used on an uneven surface, please follow these
instructions:
- Stand beside the treadmill, place the Magnetic Safety Clip onto the display console and follow operating instructions for running the treadmill at 2 mph.
- If the belt is off-center to the right, turn the left roller adjustment bolt counterclockwise ¼ turn. If the belt is off-center to the left, turn the left roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn clockwise.
- Let the machine run for several minutes to check the alignment. (Belt alignment does not need to be perfect.) If more correction is needed, turn the adjustment bolt ¼ turn and check again.
TREADBELT TENSION
Turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise until Treadbelt just
begins slipping when walking on it; then turn both rear roller adjustment
bolts clockwise in equal ¼ turn increments until the Treadbelt stops
slipping.
Note: Be sure to walk on Treadbelt to ensure that the Treadbelt does not slip while under load.
TREADBELT CALIBRATION
- Hold down ENTER and STOP while applying magnetic safety clip to magnet on keypad. Unit will say CALIBRATION.
- Press START. Machine will speed up, say “WAIT” and then say “SUCCESSFUL”.
- Remove Magnetic Safety Clip and reapply; then use as normal.
TREADBELT LUBRICATION
For average use of your treadmill, we recommend you lubricate under the
Treadbelt once per year. For heavy use, which is more than 10 hours per week,
we recommend that you lubricate every six months.
Note: Steelcase recommends using only Steelcase-provided liquid silicone
lubricant, part number 005723DSR, available from your local Steelcase dealer.
Maintenance continued
Lubrication Instructions:
-
Lift the edge of the wide black Treadbelt off the flat surface underneath, with the help of a butter knife or a small putty knife. Be sure to avoid damaging the Treadbelt. (see Fig. 1)
-
Once the Treadbelt is lifted, place one hand fully under the Treadbelt, and lift with enough pressure to create clearance between the belt and the surface below. Start as close to the motor housing (front of treadmill) as possible. (see Fig. 2)
-
With the lubricant (Steelcase part number 005723DSR), draw a straight line out from the centerline of the Treadmill to the edge, on the flat surface underneath the Treadbelt. (see Fig. 3)
-
Move to the other side of the treadmill, and repeat steps 1-3.
-
There should now be a continuous bead of lubricant on the flat surface under the Treadbelt, all the way across the width of the area where the Treadbelt makes contact. This should consume one full tube of lubricant. (see Fig. 5)
-
Now, turn on the treadmill and walk on it for several minutes. The action of the belt moving will smear the lubricant over the contact surface and the belt. Please note that it may take a couple of days of normal use for the large belt to become fully lubricated. Repeat the lubrication process as required.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning or servicing.
Important: Do not clean or wipe under the walking belt.
Cleaning Your Treadmill:
- Daily: Wipe moisture from the control panel (user interface) and treadmill surfaces if needed.
- Weekly: You should wipe down your treadmill once a week with a soft, waterdampened cloth. Be careful not to get excessive moisture between the edge of the overlay panel and the console, as this might create an electrical hazard or cause the electronics to fail.
- Monthly: Clean dust and dirt that might accumulate under and behind your treadmill once a month. Small rubber particles from the soles of walking shoes will accumulate alongside the belt and also behind the unit.
- Expert Service: Expert service and maintenance at a reasonable cost are available through an authorized Steelcase agent. Contact your local Steelcase dealer for service.
